told the senate that the fund either
'"wasn't oorreet In theory, or haan't

tended It should."
"It seems to me to be time that
the congress of the United Sutra
knew eomethlng aa to what la being
done with that a9.ooo.OOO.OOO," he
declared.
other Action Needed
Hla remarka were prompted by an
aaaertlon by Senator Logan D, Ky.)
that "We will never get the country
out of Ita dlfflcultlea by appropriat
ing money to apend for relief unless
eomethlng elae la done."
He advocated federal reserve- board
action to lift prlcee to the 183d
level with monetary and credit
levers.
Wheeler, agreeing with Logan, aald
the treaaury'a aj.000.000.000 "paper

their depredation.
"That hain't been done," he de

erence to currency stabilisation. "We
era only appropriating more money
for the treasury.
"We're got to pee this bUI, but
It la a confeesion that In all the
things we've done heretofore, we
have not brought back prosperity."
. He told the senate that treasury
experts and the federal reeerve bank
In New York had "Inside Informa
tion" on stabilisation operations but
that no one else knew what had
been done.
Meanwhile Senator Borah (It..
Idshol, pointed out the critical
wage-hour Issue by , casting aside
precedent to criticise both house
and senate bills so rigorously that
attempts to reach a compromise may
be retarded.
Borah, member of a joint com
mittee seeking an agreement on the
legislation, declared the senate bill
would give "Hitler-like" powers to a
five-member board which could ex
cuse some firms from compliance
with pay and hour regulations.
He made It plain he would not
support that provision, despite cus
tom which holds that conferees must
back the measure approved by their
chamber.

SPOKANE, PORTLAND fr SEATTLE RY
PORTLAND, Ore.. June 1. AP
A 50-year-old hiker and a 47-year-
old fisherman, both corapttratlvely
unknown In Oregon politics before
the primary election held ten daya
ego, square off late this summer for
the governorship.
The candidate are Charles A.
flprague, who publishes the Oregon
Statesman, mornlrw newspaper of
Salem, the state capital, and Henry
I. Hess, La Grande lawyer and for
mer state senator.
Hess, victor In a spectacular race
for the Democratic nomination over
Charles H. Martin, unrelenting critic
of the labor lieutenants of President
Roosevelt, Is the fisherman and
Sprague, who swamped a field of
eight for the Republican nomination.
Is a hiker.
Agree on Outdoors.
Thus on the outdoors, both agrte.
They like It. There the personal
comparison stops. Sprague Is a tall,
scholarly man with a determined
chin, a quick, easy smile that radi
ates from his blue eyes, dignified, a
strong believer In his principle which
he expounds in a rather deep, full
voice.
Hess, as firmly fixed upon his
tenants of politics, ta of average size,
possessed of a kindly smile which
Instantly changes Into a keen, pierc
ing demeanor as he rises to an argu
ment. His sandy hair Is graying and
thin,
Aa firmly as he could say It, Hess
Is a "Roosevelt Democrat." Sprague
Is a believer In the rejuvenation of
the Republican party with Ideas that,
while they match the times, are yet
conservative.
Upon these broad principles, sur
rounded with others of leaser mo
ment, they will canva-sa the state be
fore next November's general election,
seeking the batlota of Oregon's half
million and more voters.
Labor Main Issue.
The dominant Issue, at this early
date appears likely to be the labor
question. Upon H, He defeated
Martin. Hess believed In broad free
dom for the working man In the es
tablishment of his relationships with
employers. Martin favored strict
supervision of unions. Sprague fav
ors "law tul unionism but I oppose
unionism baed on coercion of work
ers and employers.'
Heaa believes he Is the logical man-
to promote Industrial peace In strife
torn Oregon, where the ATL and CIO
have warred for months, particularly
In the lumber business, because be
carries the endorsement of both big
unions and "I have their confidence."
Incidentally, he is an owner In a
sawmill.
Sprague, also supported In ths Re
publican primary campaign by some
labor Interests, la opposed to biting
criticism of the unions and some
other groups of cltlisene, such aa the
energetic Martin gave vent to. but
at the same time he makes It plain
that "I won't stand for violence In
connection with labor trouble."
Another question that haa raised
sharp debate throughout the stat la
grounded In Bonneville dam but for
the general election It doe not ap
pear to carry possibilities of Issue
making calibre. Both Sprague and
Hess favor wide distribution of power
from the dam and equal opportuni
ties to private and public utilities.
Industry and home-consumer alike.
For Mtidcet Dalance.
On matters of more local concern,
the candidates Indicate their agree
ment. Both favor a balanced state
budget, both hope to further devel
opment of the state's resources.
Who wins Is a question that seems
to Involve three factors who get
the liberal vote of the Republican
party, how many of the Martin Democrat-,
support Sprague. and who gets
the votes of those who dldnt ballot.
Heaa polled 69.300 votes, or 6.800
more thsn Martin, while a third lib
eral Democratic candidate got 8.700
Sprague polled 03,000 votes out of
137.000 cast and 34.000 of the total
went to Sam Brown, a farmer and
professed left-wing Republican. An
other sealoua Republican !lt-rai got
10.000.
On top of this, there were at least
350.000 registered voters who never
went to the polls and how they stand
Is even more of a guess.
